Macromolecules
are very large molecules• Ex. DNA, proteins, carbohydrates and fats
• Macromolecules are made by piecing small molecules ( ) into chains of repeating units ( )
• 2 important chemical reactions for making and breaking down macromolecules:
: building reaction, monomers are linked together into polymers (polymerization)
: breaking reaction, polymers are dissembled into monomers

Chemical Reactions
• A chemical reaction is a process that leads to changes in the composition of matter.
• Reactants are found on the left side of the reaction arrow, productions on the right
• Chemical reactions do not create or destroy matter, they just change it.
• During a chemical reaction heat can either be released or it can be absorbed.

Enzymes lower activation energy and speed up chemical reactions of cells:
![Page 19: Carbon CompoundsSecure Site · •All Amino acids have 3 functional groups and contain C, H, O and N •Carboxyl group (-COOH) •Amino group (-NH 2)) (portion of the amino acid](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081409/6075841d040b9467de2fa133/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Enzymes speed up the cell’s chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers• Most reactions in living things require enzymes to help break
bonds that hold them together.• Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts which help
to lower the activation energy of a given reaction.• The energy of activation is the amount of energy required to
start a reaction.

Enzymes are specific for the reaction they catalyze
• Every enzyme is unique and only fits a specific reactant (known as a substrate in enzyme catalyzed reactions)
• The substrate fits into a part of the enzyme called the active site (like a key fits a lock)
• Enzymes change shape to force a bond to be made or broken.

Active Site
• The active site of the enzyme and the substrate have complimentary shapes.

Effects on enzyme activity
• An enzyme’s shape is essential to its function.
• Enzymes can be exposed to environments that cause them to lose their shape or denature – you can think of it as melting.
• Enzymes are permanently damaged from:
• High temperature
• Salt concentration
• pH
• Enzymes can lose their flexibility but not their shape. If temperature is too low, activity will stop but as they are warmed to appropriate temperature they will work again.
